Predictions for today’s last 16 matches (with a heavy heart)

No, it’s not a new Radiohead anthem for the World Cup, although I couldn’t get No Surprises out of my head last night. It’s just a reflection of my mood this morning after the terrible defeat against the Germans. I refer you to the BBC page for a list of UK newspapers I won’t be reading today.

Meanwhile, the competition continues today with two more last 16 matches:

Holland v Slovakia (3pm)

Brazil v Chile (7.30pm)

While I’d be delighted if the minnows won, I just can’t see it. WINS for Holland and Brazil. All together now, "No alarms and no surprises...".
